House Dems To Biden: 'One Year Of Unemployment Benefits For Two Years Of Tax Breaks For The Rich?'


You're talking about eliminatin­g entirely the department of agricultur­e and the department of education?  

That's certainly the Republican game plan.

We each have our little pet grievances in the budget, but here's the problem:  Each of these agencies and programs perform services that support the "American lifestyle" (safe food, an educated population­, etc.) that's kind of hard to dismiss.  They also employ a great many people, whose salaries help to keep the economy going.

With the exception of the Department of Defense, our government is pretty d@mned efficient.  The "waste, fraud and abuse" mantra by the right doesn't really cut it.

If you want to tackle the DoD, however, go for it.
